Halloween spirit will be rewarded -- each guest who attends in costume will be automatically entered into a raffle.

In addition, the Best Costume -- evaluated by the hotel's panel of judges -- will receive a two-night stay at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and dinner for two in Ocean & Vine. Masquerading is encouraged but costumes are not required.

"Remember when you were younger and you threw big parties when your parents went out of town?” said Paul Leclerc, Managing Director. “What else is there to do with a vacant beach-front hotel than to throw the best Halloween Beach Bash that’s ever hit the West Coast. We’ll turn the lights down, the music up and revel in the freedom to live it up for one night only.”
